Chor at Chopras
May 8, 2009
Priyanka Chopra's parents home was robbed by household help — by a man who had been working with them for over a month.
On Tuesday morning, the actress, who lives in an apartment on the same floor as that of her parents, in Raj Classic, Versova learnt what had happened.
Zeroing down
A source reveals, "There was chaos at the Chopra home on Tuesday morning when Priyanka's parents found some cash missing from their drawer. They had kept around Rs 25-30,000 to make payments, which disappeared. On finding the wads of cash gone, all the help in the house were summoned and questioned. Since the family has a big staff of helpers, it was getting difficult to zero down on the suspect."
Priyanka was preparing to go for a shoot but decided to stay back till the culprit was found. Her parents threatened to call for the cops but none of the servants admitted to the crime. Finally, Dr Ashok Chopra called for the police and the man who'd committed the robbery confessed his crime."
Dr Chopra says, "It was just a small robbery and we have now kicked him out. He returned the cash he robbed." When asked why he didn't register a police complaint, PC's father says, "It was just a few thousands and it was recovered, so we didn't register a complaint. We have removed him from the house. We need trustworthy people around."
The officer on duty from the Versova police station said, "We were called to the Chopra residence but no complaint was registered."
